FUNdamental Hockey Skills 2 – Male and Female 7-8 - Novice Program

Objective During this period players continue to develop motor skills and coordination. Practices sessions should be held twice a week during the season. Ongoing participation in compatible sports is strongly encouraged. The Novice Skills Program is designed to promote the continued development of physical literacy, fitness, and the basic skills required to play hockey. Ensure that the skills the player acquires during the FUNdamentals stage will benefit them when they engage in recreational activities, enhancing their quality of life and health. Hockey Canada recommends in the early stages of FUNdamentals that players spend 75% of their time on the introduction and development of technical skills as well as begin to focus on team tactics.

Learning to Play to Do List: Novice

-Develop guidelines in which the seasonal plan for the Novice age group is followed by Minor Hockey Associations -Develop a promotion and education plan for the implementation of the proposed seasonal structure. -Provide coaches with the educational opportunities and resources to give them the best tools possible.

-Continue to share ice between teams to maximize the usage of the ice, especially during prime time -Encourage coaches to continue their education through the Hockey Canada Specialty clinics and other continuing education offerings -Structure competition based on the differences in development and abilities -Provide coaches with the latest and most up to date resources to assist with seasonal planning and skill teaching.

-Utilize the Hockey Canada Skills Manuals and Skills of Gold DVD’s as a standard base of technical and tactical skill development and seasonal planning and focus on motor coordination skills in players. Develop these skills through drills that incorporate agility, balance and change of direction -Work toward a ratio of 2 training sessions for every game. Over the course of a 26 week minor hockey season this would mean 25-35 games and 50-70 practices and encourage unstructured play in practice to allow the players to develop skills through experimentation. -Continue to play players in multiple positions to develop all the skills of the game -A high number of repetitions is combined with a below maximum intensity level. -The success rate is at least 70% when practicing skills -Players are exposed to numerous repetitive demonstrations. Coach must create a precise mental image of the technical action that must be duplicated. The participant must imitate the correct movement as precisely as possible -The decision making process according to standard situations is introduced at this age and technical or tactical learning take place at the beginning of the session, after the warm up. There can be no learning if the player is tired.

-Encourage your child to participate in a wide variety of physical activities -Strength training should be done solely with the players own body weight -Other sports that build on fundamental movement skills applicable to hockey:

o Gymnastics o Run, Jump,

Throw programs

o Soccer o Skating

Learning to Play – Male 9-10 and Female 8-9 – Atom Program

Objective This stage is the beginning of the most important window to develop the fine motor skills on an individual technical skill basis that leads to utilizing these skills into individual and team tactics later on. During this phase, prior to the beginning of the growth spurt, players have the best opportunity to learn and begin to master fine motor skills that can be used in combination with other skills. In most cases what is learned or not learned in this stage will have a very significant effect on the level of play that is achieved later on. Players should be able to begin to transfer skills and concepts from practices to games. One of the most important periods of motor development for children is between the ages of 9 and 12. This is a window of accelerated adaptation to motor co-ordination. Early specialization in late specialization sports can be detrimental to later stages of skill development and to refinement of the fundamental sport skills. At this stage, children are developmentally ready to acquire the general sports skills that are the cornerstones of all athletic development.

Sport Canada’s Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) Resource Paper “Canadian Sport for Life” sets out a framework for sport development in Canada. Hockey Canada’s Long Term Player Development (LTPD) is an nine stage model based on the physical, mental, emotional and cognitive development of children and adolescents. Each stage reflects a different point in developing the player. The first four stages emphasize physical literacy and a broad range of sport experiences. The next five stages focus on development and competitive excellence. Active for Life encourages life-long physical activity and informed healthy lifestyle choices with participation in hockey long after the competitive years.
